Adduser or useradd
I am just wondering why there are two similar commands for creating a user. Could you please point me when I should choose adduser and when useradd? This puzzles me a little.
Thanks,
Panos

Gurus,
I need to add a user to all the machines. I need a script to do this. I did one but it does not allow me to su to root within a ssh session i open. It exists saying su: Sorry. Please let me know how i can do it. I do not have the freedom of using sudo either.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
sbuild-adduser
SBUILD-ADDUSER(8) Debian sbuild SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)
NAME
sbuild-adduser - add an sbuild user
SYNOPSIS
sbuild-adduser [-h|--help | -V|--version] USER1 [USER2 [USERn...]]
DESCRIPTION
sbuild-adduser adds the specified users to the sbuild group, granting them the privelege to build packages with sbuild(1). The schroot(1)
configuration must permit the user to obtain root permissions in the chroot via the root-users and root-groups options in schroot.conf,
because this is required to install and remove build-dependencies inside the chroot. This is normally done using the sbuild group, but
additional users or groups may be added in order to grant finer-grained permissions, for example to restrict individual users to particular
chroots.
OPTIONS
Actions
-h, --help
Display this manual.
-V, --version
Print version information.
User selection
USER The user to be granted sbuild access.
EXAMPLES
To allow user rleigh sbuild access:
% sudo sbuild-adduser rleigh
